Hi Stacey I have been on Estradiol for 1 1/2 months the changes that I'm going through my nipples an areolas are getting a lot lager an puffy and my breasts are getting larger (I have a IS condition I had small breast since puberty) My nipples an areolas are very sore , body hair takes longer to grow back, body oder is changing an my butt looks like is getting a tiny bit bigger, My skin is getting softer I can't lift heavy things like I did before. My thoughts an emotions are more female, That is about the changes I have seen so far..

I have noticed that my hair feels softer as well.  I didn't expect that change, but it is certainly welcomed. 

Good luck on the rest of your journey and continue to keep us updated.  :)

Seems your body is hyperactive to the E. That can be a good thing being your dose of E can stay in a safe zone. Hope everything stays on track with your progress.

Hello there, Stacey. Thank you very much for providing a running commentary of your progress. I do appreciate it. Except I must admit that it is making me a bit worried, lol. It seems that my time will be even shorter before I have to start explaining things and go full-time. Then again, this is assuming that I'll respond as quickly as you. Hope everything goes well and thanks again! :-)

You girls seem to be responding to the hormones very quickly.
I also wonder about some of the posts about not wanting to let you breasts show as your still in boy mode very complicated and would think makes for complicated life style as very quickly apparently you are going to have very definitely girls breasts and not boy boobs.
Its a shame that the restrictions on here preclude a discussion on your meds and dose levels.  I assume you are on t blockers ad well and do you have an endo and very regular blood tests.
